Melting Arctic Permafrost Could Release Tons of Toxic Mercury (we're all gonna die alert!)

You stupid Freepers were warned about what would happen if you didn't ditch your SUV's and pay a carbon tax ...

Lets just bottle the mercury for some nice old-fashioned thermometers.

Is this another “Bovine belches destroy the Earth” thing?
Darn cows.

Not to mention velociraptors. When those thaw out, we’re all screwed.

Or to coat pennies with and make them shiny silver !

We did that as kids.

Break a thermometer and get the impossible to catch droplet of mercury onto a penny and rub it between our fingers until the mercury magically coated the penny.

So cool.

So .... what is mercury poisoning anyway because I CERTAINLY did it to myself around 1957 or 8 .

Melting Arctic Permafrost Could Release ~~Tons of Toxic Mercury~~ Godzilla (we're all gonna die alert!)

Fixed it.

-PJ

They killed Pluto as a planet.

Guess his big brother Mercury is gonna kill us off...

Don’t eat the yellow snow.

We can cover it with garbage.

[[So .... what is mercury poisoning anyway because I CERTAINLY did it to myself around 1957 or 8 .]]

The poisoning happens when you burn the murcury off to retrieve the gold you are using it to extract- gold miners were the ones who experienced the poisoning, and it was terrible- saw a video of a man poisoned- he was very pathetic looking healthwise-

just to add- miners would put the mercury in their gold pans to engulf the small flake gold that they couldn’t get easily just by panning and picking the plinkers out- the fines were tougher to separate from the sand- so they woudl use the mercury as the two metals are attracted to each other- then they’d burn off the mercury, and just the gold would be left

Not sure you can get mercury poisoning just from handling it- but not entirely sure- i think it has to be inhaled

I did the same thing. I notice, though, I’m not as smart as I used to be...

Newton, the most brilliant scientist in history (with the possible exception of Einstein) actually consumed the stuff. He ingested small amounts of mercury on occasion as a taste test to determine the mercury content of substances. Yes, it apparently has a flavor. But as a consequence, it drove him a little crazy (eccentric I think is the proper term) and most likely led to his death. It’s a neurotoxin, basically. Like most things we’re exposed to that’s outside of our natural setting as simple hunter-gatherers, risky.

Did the same, but it was on a (wait for it) Mercury-headed dime.

It’s a neurotoxin, basically. Like most things we’re exposed to that’s outside of our natural setting as simple hunter-gatherers, risky.

Mold appears to be the latest neurotoxin, as reported in 2006. I couldn't decide if my peripheral neuropathy (tingling of nerves) was from the element mercury or the metal lead. Mold has been moved to the top of the list, although PN shouldn't affect one's longevity. In my case, CMT is also a player.

The twisty light bulbs (that were going to save the planet) have mercury in them. Make more of those.
